For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..

So do you have favorites?

@TheGent2U - Tomorrow Never Knows Beatles cover by Danielle Dax - awesome! She gets psychedelia. Thanks for posting it.

In retrospect, this cover is both sad and 💔. But it was a great cover of a great artist by another great artist. May they both RIP.

The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie cover by Nirvana (MTV unplugged)

Carolina in My Mind - John Denver. A bit more raw than James Taylor's. Once John's struggles became known, I went back and listened to his albums. I think there were hints, all along, in the music he put out. This is from his second solo album.

Sorry if this one's been done, but Bonnie Raitt's signature song IMO - Angel from Montgomery -

is a cover. John Prine's original is on his debut album, Bonnie took it and made it her own.

Bonnie does a tribute performance of it [ from her living room ] at the end of the charity fund raising video put together by his wife and a bunch of friends and fans. The video - musical and other tributes from Colbert, Kara Sedgewick and Kevin Bacon, Billy Bob Thornton, Vince Gill, Sturgil Simpson, Eric Church, Rita Wilson, Bill Murray, and many others - is long but worth watching
